PFCC statement on neighbourhood policing guarantee

Roger Hirst responds to announcement from the Prime Minister on neighbourhood policing guarantee.

Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, said: “More local, visible and accessible policing has always been at the heart of our approach to community safety, this is a priority in our Police and Crime Plan which we developed last year. 

"This year we have worked hard to communicate our vision to the Government during the recent precept negotiations and it’s pleasing to see the Government’s National Policing Guarantee which aligns with our plans.

“We will help officers to be more visible in our communities and sustain our commitment to supporting town centre policing, neighbourhood policing, rural policing and working to reduce crimes against businesses.”
